application confusion

I got this email today....

Hello,

Your application did not get reviewed for the summer/fall semester of 2006. We will shift your application so that it will get reviewed automatically for the spring semester of 2007. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Best,

I am somewhat happy that it is not a 'no',but then I am wondering how can they just put off my application? How can it just not get reviewed? Were they tired of reading cheesy application essays and decided to just put the rest off until next year? Does this mean that they like me but don't have space right now ( I did apply during the 'space available only' application period)? I am so confused...
